Heritage & Purpose
Bearded Collie
Origin:
Scottish shepherds developed these dogs in the highlands during the 16th century for herding sheep and cattle across challenging terrain. Their distinctive coat protected them in harsh weather.
Sloughi
Origin:
Desert hunters of North Africa, dating back several millennia, these swift sighthounds excelled at pursuing game like hares and gazelles across vast sandy terrains.
Special Considerations
Bearded Collie
Daily coat brushing essential to prevent matting. Requires significant exercise commitment. Regular eye and hip checks needed. Tendency to bark needs early training attention.
Sloughi
Requires secure fencing due to prey drive and speed. Sensitive to anesthesia and medications. Weekly grooming sufficient but regular exercise essential.
